+ Kayla Drex 175 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hi everyone! IRL, my name is Chris. I live in Richmond, Virginia (USA), and am a software QA Engineer. I have always loved Star Trek, creative writing, science, art, history, music, and the pursuit of a full life. For those reasons, I'll be playing Kayla Drex. I'm already completely in love with her (in a non-weird/narcissistic way - I just think she's going to take on a life of her own, and be a heck of a lot of fun to write/play.) I'm so looking forward to exploring the universe with all of you! ... well, some of you. This seems a pretty big community. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skylar Noland 3 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hello all! My name is Sean and I am a father, a husband, and a complete newb to role playing in this format. I used to play D&D about 25 years ago but am drawn to the idea of story creation with a group. I have been an avid Trekkie for 33 years and am excited to try out this format and see what we can create. I hope I don't bungle things too badly! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cammy Bechtel 3 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hey everyone! My Name is Marc, new to most of Star Trek but not to pen-and-paper-RPGs in general. I live where the zeppelins were born, which means I am a German and English is not my first language. But we’ll manage, I hope. This will be my first RPG in this format, but I am looking forward to this experience with all of you! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never done anything like this before but I like to think that I'm a creative guy so hopefully I will be able to stoke those flames. I'm a tabletop RPGer on a weekly basis so I am somewhat experienced with storytelling. I work in the trucking industry as a dispatcher. I've been in my current job for over 15 years. I look forward to interacting with everyone. See you out there! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've roleplayed in MMOs and pen & paper, but never PBEM, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes.

I was also a pen and paper player back in the day when I joined this group. after trying first another one and had to deal with the amazing players and writing in English (my main language is Spanish). However this group embraced me and if you give it time, you'll be delighted with it. I hope to see you soon with us and maybe, sim with you in the near future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Name's Paul but I'll be playing Oriana Whedon, and no I've never heard of FemShep Seriously though, Mass Effect is legit one of my favourite franchises and being able to meld Shepard with Star Trek was too much of a thrill for me to not even try.

Psychofireman22 2 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Good evening. My name is Michael. I live in West Jordan Utah with my wife and kids. I'm originally from South Carolina and still call it home, even though I have lived in Utah for 28 years. I am a die-hard Trekkie. I always have been. TOS was my favorite until I found Enterprise, TOS is still one of my staples though. I just really love Porthos. He is adorable. I found the group by surfing the web and looking up all things Star Trek. I just stumbled on it, and I am glad I did. I currently work for the State of Utah, but before that, I was a firefighter/EMT and was a Lieutenant and Hazardous Materials Technician (the mop and glow club). I was also a surgical tech and injured my back so I had to get out of medicine. But it is still my passion. I teach it to Boy Scouts and Naval Sea Cadets. I work with the youth of Salt Lake County as an assistant scoutmaster for Boy Scouts and I am an officer with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, where I help mold the future of this great country. I am glad to be here and I am excited to start training. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hugh Hunter 4 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi, My name is Colin, and my character's name is Hugh Hunter. I live in London (UK), and have been a star trek fan since my dad bought me 'encounter at farpoint' (on video/VHS). Although DS9 was by far my favourite series. My character is half human and half El-Aurian, as I thought this would be great to have someone who remembers the 20th/21st century, but also to have them different enough from the archetypal el-aurian so they were more involved in events. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saveron 706 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Welcome to Starbase 118 Colin! Glad you're joining us. We have players from all around the world playing all different types of characters. Indeed, there's a human/El-Aurian hybrid on the Starbase 118 Ops sim at the moment, so you'll be in good company. I hope you enjoy your Academy training and I look forward to hearing about your adventures in the Fleet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hugh Hunter 4 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Thanks, I'm glad the hybrid idea will play. I was a little concerned that it might come off as some kind of mary-sue type character, but the intention was to have a more rogue type character like Dax, but with a bit more unpredictability with their heritage. Thanks for the heads up that there is already an el-aurian/human hybrid. I'll check out their posts, so my take doesn't contract theirs too much. Separate question, any tips on which ships/postings have a quieter pace. I have a baby on the way so I might not be able to consistenty make the 3 posts a week every week.
